Have I mentioned my book!? It tries to inspire action by arguing we already sort-of know what needs to be done about the world's biggest problems – and have a pretty good idea of what a solution looks like. Also, economics is not what you think! www.amazon.com/How-Economic...

Went to get a haircut and the young lady in the chair next to mine kept going "yes, daddy" and "no, daddy." I was like, what did I miss? Is this how people talk to their hairdressers now?? But it turned out to be the owner's actual daughter. Sometimes I'm not so bright.

If your vision starts acting up suddenly and for no reason, you need an ambulance, stat. And this is very important: don't wait to see if it gets better. You may be having a stroke: www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con... Even if you feel fine, call the ambulance 🚨

The Times of Israel reports that Greta Thunberg & her fellow Flotilla crew are being held in a special "terrorist" section of Ketziot prison—or in "terrorist conditions," as Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security put it.

www.timesofisrael.com/thunberg-sai...
On Friday, the ultranationalist minister suggested that Israel would be better off throwing the flotilla participants in prison for several months rather than immediately deporting them back to their home countries. Security prisoners - those incarcerated for offenses that intentionally harm national security - are housed separately from criminal prisoners and are not eligible for many of the benefits available to the general prison population. The term is a catch-all term applied to detainees, convicted prisoners and terrorists, and administrative detainees who are held without charges for extended periods, without trial. "We are in Ketziot prison, and as I promised, those flotilla members, supporters of terrorism, are here in a security prison," Channel 14 reported Ben Gir as saying. "They receive conditions for terrorists here, for everything, terrorist sweatpants, terrorist conditions. This means, there is a minimum of the minimum, that's what I promised and that's how we are fulfilling it."

Now that Israel is holding European kidnapping victims hostage, by their own logic, doesn’t that mean the EU can use military force to get them back?

As reported by The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
“Another detainee reportedly told another embassy that they had seen her [Thunberg] being forced to hold flags while pictures were taken. She wondered whether images of her had been distributed,” the Swedish ministry’s official added. The allegation was corroborated by at least two other members of the flotilla who had been detained by Israeli forces and released on Saturday. “They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.
